There are two teams, each signified by the colour of their capes, blue and red. The teams compete against each other to gather sacred clay to process into various items or to steal them from the opposing team. Gathering clay, processing clay, depositing clay and items at the team's home base, and inflicting combat damage on the opposing team earn points. In the end, the team with the most points wins. Players collect clay, which is thought to be the "building blocks used by gods to create worlds.
As previously mentioned, players can also steal clay and items from the opposing team and either use them or deposit them at their own base for points. Only items in inventory can be stolen, not worn items. All clay and items including familiars, food, and potions are tiered, with higher-tiered items having more capabilities and higher stats. Higher-tiered items are made from higher-tiered clay.
All but six skills Divination, Firemaking, Slayer, Farming, Invention and Dungeoneering are featured in this minigame. These include:. To play the game, the player must enter one of the two waiting areas.
Once inside, a window pops up at the top right corner of the screen that depicts the Total Combat Levels and Total Skill Levels of both the player's team and the opposing team. These change as players enter and exit the waiting rooms. The game automatically detects if one team is stronger than the other and attempt to balance the teams by not letting people join the stronger team.
Even though Agility is in Stealing Creation, it doesn't determine the Total Skill Levels as it only has one purpose to the game and that is to jump over walls at level 60 Agility. The window also shows the amount of time until the next game starts, unless there are fewer than five people in each team, in which case it shows how many more people are needed to start the game. If the player has not been able to complete their previous game due to logging out, leaving, or lag, they are not allowed to start another game for five minutes and are called a traitor or deserter by the Mystics.
It is impossible to do an emote while in the waiting area, as it may cause you to miss the start of a new game. In the larger of the three pens, you can participate in clan Stealing Creation. In many cases, to join a game, you have to be in a Friends Chat FC ; however, there are specific non-combat Stealing Creation clans which admit non-FC members to their games.
You can either start an FC yourself or join one that may be advertised. In order to start a game, your FC has to have at least 5 people, a leader clan owner, general, or captain can be one , and there must also be another FC present with at least 5 people. For a FC to start a game, the leader displayed at the top of the screen must accept the invitation of the other FC.
Other ranked members who are not the leader at this time cannot challenge another FC. You can also ally other FCs; up to three clans can be allied together. Clan Stealing Creation is popular for the ability to get more points per hour. Although the points system and game play are the same as free for all matches, imbalances between FC are permitted, so your FC might be much stronger than the other, allowing you to collect clay without worry.
It is possible to war a FC with any ratio of people. There are also non-combat Stealing Creation FCs which operate on worlds 70 and These FCs play without combat to increase the points earned per hour, but also to cater for players who prefer to skill in-game.
These players often find themselves at a disadvantage in official Stealing Creation worlds due to the heavy emphasis on combat, so non-combat FCs offer an alternative way to enjoy this popular minigame. Most FCs require players to wield a bow without arrows or a staff without a spell selected as a precautionary measure.
Players play in harmony, without competition i. Games usually last between 10—12 minutes, compared to the regular 20 minutes when combat is involved. The game reward points remain very much the same per game, so it is possible to almost double the number of game reward points earned per hour from up to 60k to at least k Bonus XP per hour.
Sacred clay is key to the game. The players must collect sacred clay and make it into armour, weapons and other equipment to be used by themselves or other members of the team. The Stealing Creation arena is square-shaped and can be very large or very small, depending on the number of people in the game.
Scattered randomly throughout the arena are smaller squares, each containing one kind of resource from which players can gather clay. Unlike some other minigames , it is not possible to view the game as a spectator if you are not included in the current game. Also scattered throughout the arena are various obstacles, some of which can be used by the player. The locations of the clay, obstacles, altars, and kilns differ every game.
A basic clay pit and Creation kiln are always close to each of the two bases. The two team bases are situated at the south-west and north-east corners of the arena. Players can only enter their own base. Inside each base is a Mystic who can show the player the type, level, and amount of clay left in the arena. If a player speaks to him while missing any life points , he also heals the player. A large deposit table is in the centre of each base, where players can deposit all the clay and clay items in their inventory.
By default everything in one's inventory is deposited except for harvesting tools e. These can be deposited manually. If you have multiple types of the same object and class you can use, the last one of the same type is kept. The player may also deposit all items of a certain type by using one item with the table. When items are deposited they appear sorted in several crates that are spread around the base: each holds clay or items of a certain type, processed in the creation kiln.
Depositing items gives points and taking them deducts points: see Rewards. If players are being chased by a player killer , they can run into their base where they cannot be attacked. Unlike barriers, the base is indestructible. Here is an example of the information he provides:. In the top left corner of your playing screen will be a box displaying your score. In the top right of your playing screen will be a box displaying the time left in the game you're playing.
Below are some images showing what these look like:. In the arena there are certain areas from which you collect clay. These areas are based on four skills:. Each area from which you can collect clay has a certain class.
The higher the class, the higher the skill you need for that area. There are specific areas where you don't need any skills or any particular levels to collect from. See below:. Note: You don't need tools to collect clay from areas, however it is faster if you use them.
The higher the class of the clay, the better the item that you make. In case of runes, the higher the class of the clay, the more runes you get per clay. When processing clay in the Kiln, you are safe from any attacks. However, if someone is attacking you as you run to use the Kiln, you will be automatically stopped from using it. Note: You need particular levels to process clay. Like collecting it, you need the same levels for processing that type. You can either use the clay you processed to help you get more, you can use it to help fight your opponents or you can deposit it, getting you even more points.
In the center of your team's base is a large table into which you can deposit your items. When you deposit items, you get even more points. The higher the class of items, the more points you get. You can use Summoning familiars to deposit clay for you. All the familiars' special move scrolls deposit items into your team's base for you.
The higher the class of the familiar, the higher its combat level is and the more items in can hold in its inventory. Here is the familiar's interface:. Thieving is a great help in Stealing Creation. If your Thieving level is 20 levels higher than that of your opponent, you can pickpocket him or her.
The higher your opponent's Thieving level, the harder it is to pickpocket them successfully. Thieving is especially a great help when you have opponents using Magic to fight you; you can pickpocket their runes if you're lucky. You can also pickpocket people gathering clay, therefore effectively stealing the clay they've been collecting. Combat plays a big part in Stealing Creation. A team with a lot of high leveled players often have an advantage if they use combat.
Killing the opposition will make it hard for them to collect clay, therefore giving you an advantage. If you've done Desert Treasure , using Ancient Magicks is a huge advantage, as it can freeze people, slowing them down and making your kill easier. A dagger is probably the most used melee weapon in Stealing Creation as it is the fastest to attack. Ranged is also a great help when trying to kill people from a distance. There are certain shrouds within Stealing Creation called Fog Banks.
If you run into these, people can't see or attack you while you're in them. It's useful when being attacked to run through them as you get away, as the players will automatically stop attacking you and you'll have a better chance of surviving. While exploring the arena, you may come across a Rift.
These obstacles require an Agility level of 40 to jump over, and can be useful in putting some distance between you and an attacker. You may also discover Walls in the arena. Similar to Rifts, these obstacles can be jumped over by players with level 60 Agility. There are also altars in the Stealing Creation arena. These altars restore your Prayer, Energy and Summoning Points. However, since the layout of the Stealing Creation arena is always random, it's possible for an arrangement to not include any altars.
There are several tactics that are successfully used in Stealing Creation. Whether your plan is to hide away and score points, or to fight behind enemy lines in the hope of preventing them from depositing clay, simply collecting and depositing clay through the entire game will score you big points. Firstly, you're going to need a decent team.
Try and go for the team with the most high leveled players. This will make it easier if the opposition uses combat a lot. When you enter the game, try and explore the arena. This way you'll get the lay of the land, and you'll know where good spots to collect and process clay are. Next, you'll need some tools. Try and get the highest class tool as possible, since collecting clay will be faster.
Now go to a spot which is reasonably secluded, located fairly close to a Kiln, and has a good spot for you to collect clay from. Summoning a familiar is best, as you can use them to store items. All you need to do now is to repeatedly collect and process the clay. Processing your clay into runes and arrows is best; they're probably the most used combat item in Stealing Creation.
Runes and arrows will come in great use to anybody who needs them. They're best to store in your familiar, since otherwise people can come along and pickpocket you, thus leaving you empty handed after all your hard work! Arrows can be stored in your equipment spot, but it's best to store them in your familiar, since if you're attacked, you can use the special ability scroll to deposit your items to your base.
Having you do all this can score around 60,, points per game, depending what the conditions of the match are. Doing all of this can be pretty difficult, especially if the other team is heavily based on combat.
Making barriers to stop the opposition attacking you is very useful; however do not make them unless you need to, as having them there will just slow you down. Combat is pretty useful, but don't expect to be scoring any big points from it. Using Ancient Magicks is pretty useful. Using ice spells, you can freeze the opponent and stop them from getting away.
If you are fighting, aim for the people who are using combat as well. If they've been killed, or if none of them are around, aim for the players that look like they're going to be scoring big points i.
They're most probably collecting and processing clay ready to store in their base. Make sure you have a lot of food and potions though, as you're going to be doing a lot of fighting.
